Kathmandu

Kathmandu, the largest city of Nepal, is the political capital and a cultural one as well.
Kathmandu has seen rapid expansion in the last decade and the hustle and bustle is typical, yet the people remain as refreshingly friendly as ever.
The old, fabulous palaces, the superbly crafted pagodas and the monumental stupas are reminders of the Golden age of architecture in Nepal.
